My invention relates particularly to fuelsdesigned to be used in anydesired manner,

but it has application especiall to fuels adapted to be used as a source0 power, as

for example, fuels for burners and motor fuels.

The object of my invention is to provide a fuel. containin a petroleumhydrocarbon, as well as alcoho and an ingredient adapted to blend thesame orform a solution with th hydrocarbon and alcohol.

A further object of my invention is to provide afuel of this character,which is of such a nature that only a very small quantity of the thirdingredient is found necessary.

A further object is to provide a fuel of this character which contains alarge percentage of the petroleum hydrocarbon, notwithstanding the smallpercentage of the third ingredient.

A further object of my invention is to provide a fuel of this characterin which the third ingredient is carbon disulfid and to provide a fuelwhich is free from constituents which are oxidizable by the air atnormal temperatures.

Further objects of my invention will appear from the detaileddescription thereof contained hereinafter.

While my invention is capable of being carried out indifferent ways, forthe purpose of illustration I shall describe only certain ways ofcarrying out the same herein.

'For example, a fuel made in. accordance with my invention may becomprised of 25 parts by volume of ethyl alcohol,

25 parts by volume of gasolene,

- 8 parts by volume of carbon disulfid.

While I ave described -'my invention above in detail, I wish it to beunderstood that man changes may be made therein without eparting fromthe spirit thereof.

ed mainly by a quantity of carbon disulfid present in the fuel.

. 2. A completely blended fuel comprising gasolene and an alcohol, saidgasolene and alcohol being blended mainly by a quantity of carbondisulfid present in the fuel.

3; A completely blended fuel comprising a petroleum distillate and ethylalcohol, said petroleum distillate and ethyl alcohol being blendedmainly by a quantity of carbon disulfid present in the fuel.

4. A completely blended fuel comprising gasolene and ethyl alcohol, saidgasolene and ethyl alcohol being blended mainly by a qualntity of carbondisulfid present in the fue 4 5. A completely blended fuel comprisingsubstantially equal quantities of a petroleum distillate and an alcohol,said petroleum distillate and alcohol being blended mainly by 'mainly bya quantity of carbon disulfid present in the fuel.

8. A completely blended fuel comprising substantially equal and eth 1alcohol, sald gasolene and ethyl alcohol eing blended mainly by aquantity of carbon disulfid present in the fue In testimony thatI claimthe foregoing I have hereunto set m hand.
